This One Simple Question Will Shape the Future of Energy
“If we are serious about addressing climate change, then the future of energy must be clean. With carbon-free electricity sources like nuclear, we can power our way of life, reduce emissions, and save the planet.”

Climate change has a cow and worm problem
“That’s a large discrepancy, especially given how much domesticated livestock is already contributing to climate change. Livestock make up 60 percent of all the mammal biomass on Earth, and livestock industries are responsible for more than 14 percent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.”

For energy transition, the key word is sustainability, not politics
“We need to start with agreement on a key point, already recognized by many in the energy sphere: All forms of energy must be in the discussion. It's not about loving or hating a specific fuel, whether that's hydrocarbons or wind and solar. It's about reducing and eliminating emissions.”
